[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Drop BDB era handholding on signals (PR #1946)

[Panu Matilainen]

Details in commit messages, but in short, this drops the dreaded "block signals on rpmdb on" behavior that every librpm user comes to loathe. As a bonus, it also improves thread-safety by eliminating global structures.

This is a pretty drastic change to a very long-standing behavior so some fallout would not be unexpected, despite being a positive change.
